WHY is the Sun called a star and not a planet?
The surface temperature of the Sun is thousands of times that of the Earth and many other planets in our Solar System, indicating that it is a star.
The planets feature a chemical composition whereby they are formed not only of light particles, but also of solid elements. Stars, in turn, are mostly formed from light particles, just like the Sun itself.
On the surface of the Sun, all sorts of nuclear reactions are constantly taking place that are not typical of planets in such quantity and scale.
